World class £14.25m target on his way to Chelsea, manager confirms

Former England manager Fabio Capello has confirmed that Antonio Conte is preparing for life as Chelsea manager.

Conte is managing the Italy national team now and will take over from Guus Hiddink at the end of this season. His contract with the national team ends after the Euro 2016.

The former Juventus manager is highly rated within the game and will be expected to lead another revolution at Chelsea.

It seems highly unlikely that Chelsea will finish in top four this season and Conte will be asked to get the Blues back into the Champions League right away.
